A recent hack of Apple iTunes accounts reportedly only affected about 400 of the service's approximately 150 million users.

"Apple told me that an extremely small percentage of users,Microsoft Office 2010 Serial, about 400 of the 150 million iTunes users – that is less than 0.0003 percent of iTunes users – were impacted,Office 2007 Sale," Fox News host Clayton Morris wrote in a post on his personal blog.

Apple also told Morris that the iTunes servers were not hacked, he wrote. Going forward, Apple promised to implement new security measures, which will require users to more frequently enter certain credit card information.

News of an iTunes hack cropped up over the weekend, when it was reported that scammers were accessing accounts and purchasing things with saved credit card information – up to $1,400 on some accounts,Office Professional Plus 2010 Sale, according to The Next Web.

While this was going on, the App Store's list of top-selling apps were taken over by offerings from one particular developer. At one point, 42 of the store's top fifty were from this individual, Thuat Nguyen. Apple later told Engadget that it had ejected Nguyen and his apps from the App Store for violating Apple's program licensing agreement, which resulted in "fraudulent purchase patterns."

Apple urged users who might be affected to contact their credit card companies and change their iTunes passwords.

MacRumors.com, meanwhile, said later that reports of the App Store being hacked were "greatly exaggerated." Issues with compromised iTunes accounts have "been ongoing for years,window 7, and we're not convinced that there has been a major spike in activity," the site said, though they still recommended that users check their individual accounts.
